Clue stood on his tip-toes to meet the kiss with some urgency (for he'd been thinking about this all week), but once their lips touched he succumbed to the calmness evident in Narci's movement. He wrapped his slender arms loosely around the young man's neck and melted into the moment.

For it was true... no urgency was needed here. There were no Slytherin boys about to burst into the dormitory, no Housemates lurking in the common room. No prefects patrolling the corridors, no librarian peeking into nooks and crannies. No bullies, no professors, no lawkeepers, no strangers, no parents... only them.
